Wow my I/O was different and I am glad!! How it the rest of the deck?? I would for a quick fix just do with what ever is cheap and get the season done, over the winter you can take your time and go it right!
Plastic lumber suggested would be fine.

The deck suprisingly is as hard as a pecker on prom night. the stern of the boat however is soft and the plywood inside the transom is wet.
 This may be the last season for the old girl. She has been one hell of a boat for the last 4 years I have had her. but she is falling apart at the seams.  gonna price some starboard tonight and if too much money i will due it out of pressure treated plywood.

Can you connect a section of hose to those deck drains to get the water from point A to point B without having to run all over creation wreaking havoc? Not that it will help much at this point.
I say build it out of whatever you feel comfy with.

I know this would not perfered because of weight distribution but isn't there enough room to put both batteries on one side as a temporary solution? If this will be your last season then the cheaper the fix the better. The deck drains on my '89 go directly to a through hull. Maybe this is why they changed it.

Why not just stick the batteries back in there box and get a few bungy cords and secure them down for the weekend. When your buddy is gone take the time to build a new shelf.

not enough room for both batteries on one side. and both sides were rotten and torn out. I made a platform last night out of a couple pieces of a treated 4x4 and a piece of 1/2 inch plywood. i took some pics and will post at lunch. thanks for your advice.
